Abstract

This work is aimed at analysis of human movement, especially measurement of knee angle, which is important data for monitoring in process of rehabilitation on patients with knee arthroplasty or after surgery. For measurement IMUs - Inertial Measurement Units from Xsens are used, while only data from 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope are gathered. Appropriate unit position is chosen, as well as methods for calibration and angle calculation from stored measured data. These methods are implemented and experimentally validated. Experiments shows, that results are pretty accurate and this solution is useful in analysis of patients for example by doing gait analysis.

Keywords

Angle measurement, knee, gait analysis, IMU, Inertial measurement unit, accelerometer, gyroscope, complementary filter
